Effective Volunteer Management—New #cficon Video With Jennifer Beahan

January 30, 2013

Jennifer Beahan, assistant director of CFI–Michigan, shares some advice on how to effectively manage volunteers. She starts off where it counts, advising us to be prepared! Don't ask for volunteers if you don't have an immediate way to put their time to use, and make them feel like a valuable asset to the organization. Watch Jennifer Beahan's presentation, recorded at our 2012 Student Leadership Conference.

Check out the video of Jennifer Beahan's presentation, with Q&A afterward, below!

Sarah Kaiser is a field organizer for CFI On Campus. Prior to her work at CFI, she got her start in the freethought movement as the co-founder and president of the Secular Alliance at Indiana University, where she helped organize a nationally recognized atheist bus ad campaign and large campus speaking events. As an atheist, a feminist, and a small part of the universe's way of understanding itself, she is thrilled at the chance to help advance CFI's mission. On Twitter: @sarahebkaiser.

About The Course of Reason

The Course of Reason was launched in 2010 with three main goals in mind. The first is to highlight the achievements of our student groups by regularly
posting articles on their events and activities. The second is to spread knowledge and skills needed to run a freethinking campus group by soliciting
articles from successful group leaders on organizational topics like event planning and fundraising. The last is to get students involved and experienced
in voicing their opinions on current events and relevant cultural issues.

The viewpoints expressed on The Course of Reason are the viewpoints of the individual blogger only and do not necessarily reflect the viewpoints of, nor
should they be attributed to, CFI or its affiliates, or any of their directors or officers.
